LAM P-CHIMNEY CLEANER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,393, dated March 8,1892.

Application filed September 30, 1891 Serial No.407i328. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. DRURY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Girard, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Lamp-Chimney Cleaner, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The invent-ion relates to improvements in lamp-chimney cleaners.

The object of the present invention is to provide a device which will besimple, inexpensive, strong, and durable, adapted to hold a cloth, paperor similar material, and capable of forcing the same against the innersurface of tubular articles-such as lamp-chinr neys, globes, and thelike-to remove dirt and stains from the latter.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination andarrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and point-ed out in the claim hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lamp-chimneycleaner constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is detailperspective View of the arms.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a lamp-chimneycleaner, consist ing of a handle 2 and a pair of divergentspring-actuated arms 3, which are constructed of a single piece ofspring-wire and are provided at their inner ends with a shank 4, whichis integral and is formed by doubling the wire and is inserted in thehandle 2. The arms are provided at the inner termini of their shankswith coils 5, which throw the arms apart and force their outer endsagainst the side of a tubular article, such as a lampchimney, globe, orthe like. The outer ends over them, and to force the same against theinner face of a tubular article, such as a lampchimney, globe, or thelike, and the roughened outer faces of the pad-frames prevent a cloth orpiece of paper from slipping. The arms are adapted to force a cloth orpaper into a swell or contraction, and by means of the coils 5 theyreadily conform to the inner surface of a lamp-chimney, globe, orsimilar article.

It will be seen that the lamp chimney cleaner is simple,inexpensiveinconstruction, is strong and durable, and is adapted to readily removedirt and stains from the inner surface of a lamp-chimney or similararticles.

What I claim is A lamp-chimney cleaner comprising a bandle and thedivergent arms provided with a shank inserted in the handle and havingcoils at the inner ends of the arms and provided at their outer endswith approximately semispherical pad-frames consisting of a series ofcoils, the ends of the arms terminating at the centers of the coils,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.-

CHARLES E. DRURY.
